478 Dr. Harwood on tJic Hands of an Orang Otang. 



From the evidence which has been thus briefly adduced, 1 

 shall in concluding only further observe, that I consider the 

 differences mentioned fully sufiicient to disprove the identity 

 of the Simia Sati/nis with the Pongo, though they are at the 

 same time very closely allied to each other. The specimens of 

 the hands which I have taken the liberty of bringing under your 

 notice, may most probably have belonged to the former animal, 

 in which case they atford a very imposing example of his vast 

 physical powers, when allowed to attain mature age in the 

 shady recesses of his native forests.
